Lincoln Abb0rs the White House.
Washington, August 14-When he
was in Washington q few days ago Frank
Hatton related some facts in regard to
ex-Secretary Robert Llncoln's remark-
able aversion to the idea OF beng a can
didate for the presidency. He says no
one can doubt the absolute sincerity os
the ex-secretary in protesting against
any movement being made in his behalf.
He implores his friends. If they have any
regard for him not to think of or mem
ton the matter. He has no desire to
enter the white house again many capa-
city. Indeed, he seems to
have q horror OF the place.
His presence skere at the a~ssassi-
nation of bis father. and again after the
shooting OF President Garfield, has oaus-
ed him to associate thoughts of violence
and death with the presidential office of
which he cannot rid himself. It 10 be-
lieved that he has a superstitioua feel
ing that il he were elected president he
would himself be in danger Of assassina-
tion. To well known army officer not
long ago, who inquired OF him about his
presidential chanceJ, Mr.. Lincoln re-
piled:

Cider and The Dow I1aN.

The question has frequently been asked
whether the traffic in what is known as
"hard cider" would come within the provis-
ions of the Dow Law. Although the ques-
tion has never been passed upon by the Su-
preme court, ex-Attorney General Lawrence
in response to an inquiry, gave it as his
opinion that hard cider is in the list of in
toxicating liquors and that person engaged
in the traffic would be required to pay the
assessment under the Scott law as it was
neither malt nor vinous liquor as defined in
the act of April II, 1883, such dealer would
be responsible for the full tax of $500, the
same as required for dealing in intoxicating
liquors. He, however, states that the opinion
should be accepted with some allowance un-
til the Supreme court had passed upon the
question. Attorney General Kohler gives it
as his opinion that hard cider would come
within the provisions of the Dow law the
same as it did under the Scott law, and that
a dealer in hard cider would be responsible
for the tax. ....,.. ... ......

~ The bill to pension soldiers of the
Mexican war passed finally in the House on
the 18th inst, by the decisive vote of 243
yeas to nays, and only requires the sigma
ture of the President to make it the law. 1t
provides that a pension of 50 month shall
be paid to all surviving officers and enlisted
men including marines, militia and volun-
teers of the military and marine service of
the United States, who, being duly enlisted,
actually served sixty days with the army or
navy of the United States in Mexico, or on
the frontier thereof, or en- route thereto, in
the war with that nation, or were actually
engaged in battle in said war and were
honorably discharged; and to such other Of
ficers and soldiers and sailors as may have
been personally named in any resolution of
Congress for any specified service in said
war, and the surviving widows of such Off
GERS and enlisted men, provided that such
widows have not remarked; provided, that
every such officer, enlisted man, or widow
who is or may become 62 years of age, or
who now is or may become subject to any
disability or dependency equivalent to some
cause prescribed or recognized by the pen
sion laws of the United States as sufficient
reason for an allowance of pension, shall
be entitled to the benefits of this act

t1Ey- We are in favor of protecting Ameri-
can enterprise, not expressing American
labor. Tariff in America means tax! Who
pays the taxes on articles of necessity? The
laboring men of the nation. We do not
mean any particular class of laboring men,
but farmers and all others who by their
bone, blood and muscle are producers of
wealth. The hundreds of millions of dollars
now piled up and lying idle in the U. s.
Treasury have been wrung as taxes from
the people. The Democratic party wants
this robbery stopped, and instead of piling
up this money in Washington city, leave it
in the hands of the people to carry on bust
ness. Money is scarce, because under the
tax laws of the United States it is taken out
Of circulation and piled up in the treasury at
Washington. Stop this robbery and op-
preston Of the people-let the money con-
tinue in circulation instead of being heaped
up in Washington, and soon the entire coun-
try will rejoice in an era of prosperity. This
is President Oleveland's object in favoring
tariff reform. How does the result sought
strike you2

.y All Democrats, much as they may dis
like the internal revenue system, should with
one accord oppose the reduction of the tax
upon cigars and whisky, or to place them
upon the free list, while the necessaries of
life are taxed from % to 100 per cent. Let
the tax remain if need be upon luxuries and
let it be reduced upon the necessaries, those
articles which every poor man in the land
must have to sustain himself and his family.
This should be the true Democratic position,
inasmuch, if for no other reason, two
thirds of the Democratic organization of this
country is composed of the laboring class
The present tariff system is undemocratic,
was forced upon the people as war necess-
ity, but now that we are in comparative
peace, and have been for the past quarter OF
century, it is no more than an act of justice
that the war tax be removed, to at least such
an extent as to reduce the large surplus in
the treasury and to relieve the tax upon the
poorer class.

An honest living, forsooth! The same
honest living that Judas sought to secure by

same honest living that was given Benedict
Arnold by his British purchasers. If Val

ocrat he would have indignantly spurned the

eB- The complimentary pass to newspa-

"This ticket, probably, has been paid for ten
time, over by the newspaper to which it is
issued. 1t will be honored in the hands of
any man, woman or child, white, black, red,
or yellow, who favors the association by pre-
senting it. 1t is good for entrance and
grand stand, and the bearer, if driving will
be entitled to pass team free. This associ-
alton recognizes the fact that its splendid
succ cess is owing largely, if not wholly, to the
notice given by the press, and while we can
not render equivalent in cash we return our
sincere thanks"

Some time ago attention was called
in these columns to the wonderful va
riety of products now made from the
seed Of the cotton ball-an article con-
cerning which, in the days of Eli Whit
ney, and, indeed, until the last decade,
the only anxiety was To get rid of. We
mentioned the oil made from the seed,
the oil-cake from the refuse, the hulls
used for fuel, aud the ashes shipped to
New York for the manufacture of the
finest qualities of toilet soap. But, 10!
and behold, right on the heels of this
glowing panegyrie comes another dis
covery. 1t has been found that paper
of an admirable quality can be made
from the c0tton-seed hulls, and Vicks-
burg capitalists are putting up Sl,000,-
900 for the construction and running of
an oil and paper mill. 1t begins to
seem as if it were net SO much cotton

what used to be thrown away, is now
the most valuable part of the yield.

~ There is certainly need of reform in
the divorce laws of the state. A wife at Co
lumbus began an action for divorce but
afterward withdrew the suit, or supposed she
had done so, by requesting her attorney to
stop proceedings. The legal light forgot his
instructions and the courts granted the
divorce as asked for in the petition, without
any evidence in the case whatever being
offered, or the interested parties appearing
in court. The husband and wife, who had
buried the hatchet and were living happily
together found themselves suddenly divorced
without their knowledge or consent.

~ As careful estimate of the Con-
tinental navel armaments by the English
admiralty, the articles by Sir Edward Reed
on the navies. of Europe, in Ha'per's Maga-
zine, deserve attentive study from every one
who would understand the relative maritime
equipments of the great powers. The Janu-
ary portion of this subject was devoted to
the French navy. The forthcoming Febru-
ary Number concludes the matter with re-
view of the Italian, Russian, German, Aus
train, and Turkish nayies. Their compara-
tive strength proves to be in the order we
have given them. The explanation of each
nations peculiar method of naval construc-
ton shows the rea son why Italy ranks third
among the European navies, following Eng
land and France, and leading Germany and
Russia. The illustrations are very complete
and strong. /

The Dog Tax Constitutional.

A gentleman who is interested asks the
question as to whether the dog tax is consti-
tutional. The point was passed upon by the
Supreme court in 1883, in an error case
brought from the Common Pleas of Wash
ington county, reserved in the District court,
in which the plaintiff brought suit to recover
$3.50 paid as a dog tax. The court decides:
l. A per capita tax on dogs is not inhib-
tied by the constitution. i.&...... .....
